5 Phase up
« on: June 21, 2006, 09:04:48 PM »
I built this mill from Hugh's plans. It's 5 phase, 500 watt version.

Lots of fun building even more fun watching it run.





I have this mounted at the edge of the lake where the wind blows constant from the gully of the lake 95% of the time.  





Not too tidy but here's a pic of my power box, I just finnished recharging the smaller battery for my boat .





I'm quite pleased with the outcome, you can sneeze and it will start up.


You can't even hear the blades whirl.

The green knob is a battery disconnect. I unscrew this first then short out the gennie with the breaker box.
